Penny For the Guy

Dads old trousers and his disco shirt 
packed tight with yesterdays news.
A mask for a face and a pram for his car.
He is sat outside the local shops
penny for the guy Mr. is our shout.

treacle toffee smashed with a hammer.
A toffee apple and a trip to the dentist's chair.
A  hot dog  with all the extras. 
A trip to the bonfire on the backfield.
Me and my  dad lighting a Catherine wheel .
Rockets light up the heavens 
and the faces of those who watch.
The only bad thing about bonfire night.
Is that Guy Fawkes failed to blow them Politian's up.
